The 4th ACM Workshop on Embedding Sensing Systems for Energy Efficiency in Buildings will be taking place on November 6 in Toronto, Canada. The first call for papers to be presented at the conference is open until July 30. In particular, contributions addressing the following areas are welcomed:
- Building controls, optimization, and learning
- Sensing technologies and sensor information processing methods
- Measurement, modeling, and visualization of building performance
- Occupancy and occupant behavior modeling
- Information feedback, incentives, and other methods for influencing occupant behavior
- Computationally assisted design of energy-efficient buildings
- Simulation and emulation tools and test-beds
- Smart energy-aware devices and appliances
- Efficient building systems: HVAC, enclosures, lighting, water heating etc.
- Interaction with external networks and systems: electricity, transportation system, water
- Demand-response technologies for smart-meter / smart-grid integration
- Renewable energy integration
- Local energy generation, harvesting, and storage
- Energy considerations across multiple buildings at campus and regional scale
- Energy-water nexus in buildings
- Information technology standards for building energy management
- Security, privacy, and robustness issues
